Coming of Age

So, way back in time, I opened my own Pilates studio in the north Houston, Texas, suburb of Kingwood. While deciding upon names for my business, I was also deciding on names for my future child! My pregnancy with Rémi was great and unfettered.  My studio seemed to grow at the same rate as my midsection.  I was blessed to develop a wonderful clientele interested in creating change in their bodies while observing mine (albeit a very different means of change!)  

I gave sessions up until the very day that my labor began. Post delivery I was like most women, exhausted and out of sorts. But I had the benefit of knowing how to access my core, and using Eve Gentry's Pilates Fundamentals, I regained functional strength in the weeks following my son's birth. Rémi spent much time in the studio and was present over the years for sessions. If you stand still long enough, he will come over and help readjust your posture and authoritatively give out cues to reinforce the correction. 

My darling son has grown into a young man. He is 17 and a half, towers over me, is  a beautiful person inside and out, and about to embark on a new life path. I see all of the parallels between traits my son is bestowed with and what Pilates develops: inner strength emanating from the core, flexibility and plasticity, and most importantly, the quest for balance.

Best of luck my son. I am always here for you, but I am confident in your abilities and I know that you will soar!
